fuel
Petrol-powered vehicles Unleaded petrol octanenumber (EN228) 1600 models95 RON or higher
2000 models 90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles Cetane number (EN590)51 or higherCAUTIONl For petrol-powered vehicles, the use of lea-
ded fuel can result in serious damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Do not use leaded fuel.
l Diesel-powered vehicles are designed to use
only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 stand-
ard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio die-
sel, methyl ester, etc.) would adversely af- fect the engine’s performance and durability.NOTEl Petrol-powered vehicles have the knock con-
trol system so that you can use unleaded pet-
rol 90 RON as an emergent measure in case unleaded petrol 95 RON or higher is notavailable on journey, etc.
In such a case, you don’t need to adjust the
engine specially. In case of using unleaded petrol 90 RON, the engine performance lev-
el is reduced.
l For diesel fuel, due to the separation of par-
affin, the fluidity of the fuel decreases con- siderably as the temperature falls.
Because of this fact there are two kinds of
fuel: “summer” and “winter”.
This must be considered in winter use.
Select either of the two kinds of fuel in ac- cordance with ambient temperature. Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance
about the fuels served in local service sta- tions.NOTEl Repeatedly driving short distances at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems oc-
cur, you are advised to add a detergent addi- tive to the gasoline when you refuel the ve- hicle. The additive will remove the deposits,thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For de- tails, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob- lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

Graphical expression for con-sumer information
Identifier for petrol-type fuels
E5: Petrol fuel containing up to 2.7 % (m/m) oxygen or up to 5.0 % (V/V) ethanol – Eg.
EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol
E10: Petrol fuel containing up to 3.7 % (m/m) oxygen or up to 10.0 % (V/V) ethanol
– Eg. EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol
The petrol engine are compatible with E5
type petrol (containing 5 % ethanol) and E10 type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con-forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTIONDo not use more than 10 % concentration of etha- nol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system, engine, en-
gine sensors and exhaust system.Identifier for diesel-type fuels
B7: Diesel fuel containing up to 7.0 % (V/V)
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters – Eg. EN 590 com-pliant diesel
The diesel engine are compatible with B7
type diesel (containing 7 % fatty acid methyl
esters) conforming to European standards EN590.
CAUTIONDo not use more than 7 % concentration of fatty acid methyl esters (bio diesel) by volume.
Use of more than 7 % concentration would ad-
versely affect the engine’s performance and dura- bility.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204289WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.WARNINGl Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks, andsmoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or the fuel pump. Any static electricity on your
body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let any other person come near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam- ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
left side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling the release lever located on the side of the driver’s seat.
3. Remove the fuel cap. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl For diesel-powered 1600 models, the fuel
cap does not turn more than 90 degrees.
Turning forcibly could damage the fuel cap.
l Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissingsound from the cap, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTIONl Do not tilt the gun.

Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the drivingsafety of your vehicle has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of a

system* E00201501057This paragraph summarizes the major itemsof the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
such as the characteristics, operating proce- dures, etc. For details, refer to “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system” on page 6-19.

The AS&G system reduces the emission of
exhaust gases and increases fuel efficiency. The AS&G system automatically stops and restarts the engine without the use of the igni-tion switch or the engine switch when the ve-
hicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in
a traffic jam.
Activation
E00201601061

Type 2Type 1System characteristics
E00202301065
The principle of the AS&G system is that it
adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. energy sup- ply). This means that in certain circumstancesthe engine will not stop and in other circum-
stances the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine
will restart by itself
E00202400027
l The interior temperature rises and the air
conditioning starts operating in order to lower the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.
l Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph)
or
higher when coasting on a slope.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister
position.
l When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
l When the preset temperature of the air
conditioning is changed significantly.
l When the air conditioning is operated in
AUTO mode where the temperature con-trol dial is set to the max. hot or the max.
cool position (for vehicles with automat- ic air conditioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above, the engine may restart automatically. For de-
tails, refer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys- tem” on page 6-19.
